Carbohydrate, structural

Molecules based on carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, which include cellulose and hemicellulose. Although structural carbohydrates cannot be digested by the horse itself, they can be digested with the aid of microbes living in the horse's intestines. Structural carbohydrates (often referred to as fibre) are an essential component of a horse's diet.
